Hi i am new to this forum and i have a couple questions about the Pinzgauer.
What is the drive ability meaning would it be a decent daily driver? Also what is the MPG i live in colorado? also what about towing i have a 21ft boat would it be able to tow that with the 4 cylinder?
Thanks Everyone
Thinking of getting a Pinzgauer
pinz question
I did not use mine as a daily driver but two or three days a week. Had to have the 'fix' on the way to the office. Now retired and it is not an issue, no job to go to.
Just came back from a 850km jaunt. I no longer keep track of milage. What is the point? Gas here is 3.90+ When I did it was about 12.
I tow a 500lb M416 trailer but did tow a 2000lb trailer a few times, slow up hills.

Hello
I drove my 710K as a daily drive for close to a year and it was great. The only difficulties were summer heat and parking structures. I went into one that had a progessivley shrinking ceiling. There was no damage, but a good lesson learned. Mileage was around 13 mpg. I say go for it.

How would an ice-age end without global warming?
I regularily load my Pinz with a ton of feed and pull a trailer with a ton of feed at the same time. Mileage is usually around 14 mpg. I have tried to pull my actual feed trailer with 2 tons of feed in it and poor Pinz would only do about 30 mph. Total trailer weight with 2 tons was probably close to 4500 plus pounds though. I only tried that once for about 5 miles, turned around, went home and got the F 250 diesel.
